.The vehicles for .receivingand transporting refuse and the like havefthe disadvantage that they can receive a comparatively small quantity o-fmaterial' only when. the, loading 5 edge is low and are 'dilficult. to; load when the loading edge is highJ Affurther disadvantage of vehicles ofthis kind in which a. dust- .PIO f 0pening. P V d r filling in the -material consists. in this thatunderneath the io'filling places cones of] thejma-terial are formed which make further filling diflicultl or impossible. ,Thesecones of. material must then be spreadeit her manually by poking in g case theffillingof the vehicle cannot be" 16 carried. out absoliitelyndust-proofi or mechanilgall'y by, means. of racks; pushers: or the li e. 7 h f.

The' object of the invention is,.to provide a proces'sfor loading or charginga vehicle 20 with refuse and the likeinwhich thejcontainer receiving-the material has. the form of a drum rotatably' mounted upon the body of the vehicleand is. provided with a lateral filling opening. I According to the invention the-refuse and like material is to be filled into the; drum through the lateral filling opening to the height or level of the loading edge; which; is adjustable to any desired height whereupon by turning the drum to and fro andutilizing the weight of the material as well as the natural angle of inclination the material is brought to the side of the drum opposite the filling place and lifted above the height of filling. s In this manner it is possible to load the side of the drum opposite the loading side and to remove the cone formed underneath the loading place without poking or using.

racks, pushers or the like.

In the accompanymg drawing a 'mode of carrying the pr0cess'acc0rding to the invention into effect is shown diagrammatically in Figs. 1-4.

The drum shaped body 2 of the vehicle rotatably arranged in known manner upon guide rolls or pivotsv 5 is loaded through opening 1 as shown in Fig. 1 as far as possible over the loading edge a which is adjus'table to any desired height. The body of m the vehicle is then rotated. by means of a pinion 4 meshing with a ring gear 3 on the.

vehicle body in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 1 through an angle of about ..180. The material 6 filled into the body then comes by its .own weight and by its natural angle ofinclination into theposition through. the bottom. in. such. a manner. that the cover provided in the? upperrpart. 011 the also possible in-a; simplevman lerw The. rotation of thedrum-may beefiected 5" shown in Fig 2! Thereuponthe vehicle isbrought'back into its originah posibroughtqto the;side oftheidrumopposite gthe e loading edge so that further fin g' is; possibleJWithoutbeing rendered difiicult. by cones, The filling'and. rotating maybeiqre peated' asoftenaas desired so. that. after two or threerepetitions thebody. 0t the veh-icle 7 is. loaded above thefilling level as. shown in Fig. 4..

mechanically in sucha manner thatthe. r0-

: ational. movement in any desired adjustable extreme position of the vehicle body is automatically v reversed and then automatically stopped in the original position-, so that the rotating requires little time and work only. The sticking of the material to the wall of the body may be favoured, if necessary, by" longitudinal strutsfixed totheinner wall of the drum. The material maybe freely filled in byimeans of a shovehvessel or the like ordust-proof by means-of any desired filling device. I r

What I claim is:" V I 1. -A method of loading materials into a, vehicle of the type having a rotatablymounted container and a filling opening therein, which comprisesthe repeated steps of loading thematerial into the container of the vehicle through the opening-thereof until it reaches the edge of the opening; and

rotating said container to flatten out and rearrange said material in: the container for a further supply of material. y
